Town Among Clubs Linked With Doncaster Striker - Ipswich Town News

Town are one of a number of clubs reportedly interested in Doncaster Rovers striker John Marquis.

According to HITC Sport the Blues, Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, Barnsley, Bristol City and Sheffield United are all keen on the 24-year-old, who has scored 26 goals for the League Two leaders this season.

Lewisham-born Marquis, the joint-top scorer in the EFL this season along with Blades frontman Billy Sharp, joined Rovers from Millwall, where he came through the youth ranks, last summer and is contracted until the end of June 2018.

While with the Lions, for whom he made 28 starts and 37 sub appearances, scoring six goals, the 6ft 1in tall striker spent time on loan with Staines Town, Portsmouth, Torquay United, Northampton Town (three times), Cheltenham Town, Gillingham and Leyton Orient.

Marquis, who netted his first EFL hat-trick in Saturday’s 5-1 drubbing of Grimsby, is set for his second successive League Two champions medal having helped Northampton - with whom he netted six goals in 13 starts and two sub appearances in his most recent loan spell - to the title last season.
